    Floyd was FAR FROM a devastating puncher.

    In his last 10 pro fights, from Juan Manuel Marquez to Andre Berto, he had just ONE stoppage win - a sucker punch KO of Victor Ortiz! :lol:

    You remember what you want to remember I'm speaking facts thats the difference. Pac turned down pbf because of testing and ran off to fight clottey and pbf fought Mosley those are facts and can't be refuted.

    Margo is a glove loading pos bum who never beat anyone of note after getting exposed. Wishful thinking doesn't beat or work with pbf. Had pbf fought and schooled margo he would be just another slow come forward fighter who pbf feasts on but since they didn't fight margo is now some unbeatable monster who destroys pbf.
    As far was Williams you mean the same Williams who was outboxed by quintana and Lara? Williams is a dumb fighter who can be outboxed and that is what pbf did better than anyone else.

    Floyd was scared of Pac and cried about PEDS despite persistant rumours and authorities burying Floyds own PED and IV use.

    Also you didn't answer my question about why Floyd didn't fight tall fighters. Is it because Floyd nearly always had a reach advantage over his opposition and a far taller could negate this advantage/

    Also styles make fight you don't know how those fights would have gone. Floyd struggled with Madaina ffs.

    I think a taller pressure fighter with a good gas tank causes Floyd fits but wel'll never know because he was a cherry picking *****.

    The FloydHype/Pacmania(real names can’t be used for obvious reasons) era was the worst for this forum. Let’s leave it in the past guys.

    Pac was far more dangerous than Lomachenko. I see that Lomachenko fans are going to start overrating him again then go back into hiding after he takes another L.

    Oh for sure Pac carried a lot of power that I think suprised a lot of the bigger opposition.

    Pbf was cleared anything else is wishful thinking bitterness and hate. A shot pbf beat pac without getting out of 1st gear.

    Pbf was never scared of pac you sound like a casual lmfao! Scared of a guy who never beat jmm clearly in 4 fights and lost to a shot erik Morales stop!

    Williams nor margo don't fight tall so your point is irrelevant. How many tall fighters were there at 147 when pbf fought there casual. You're a excuse maker that's all you are. I hit you with facts you come with excuses and spin.

    Lastly pbf was 36 and faded when he beat maidana 2x casual that wasn't a prime pbf so stop acting like it was. A prime pbf doesn't lose a round to maidana.

    I don't need to spin anything you nonse I'm not the fanboy you are.

    What has Morales or Marquez got to do with anything butt plug.

    Floyd was wetting himself because Williams and Margoriita woulld have starched him you cheese burger eating fanny. Fighting tall also has nothing to do with reach galloping tit.

    You're grown adult trying to defend a wife beating cherry picker who will always be less popular than Pacman whatever you think in terms of the mythical 0. At the end of the day pal that's all it is a "Myth"


    Now log off



    Yer nonse.










    Thanks.

    dude Manny and his team avoided Floyd multiple times, when testing was first brought up Freddie roach laughed at it and said they were more concerned about money and after Floyd agreed to everyone of his demands at the last minute they made an issue about testing and pulled out to fight Clottey.. in 2009

    afterwards they lied again about agreeing to testing and avoided Floyd to fight Margarito in 2010/11

    then after beating Ortiz and Pac-Marquez 3 Mayweather religiously called out manny only for his camp to make excuses about needing to build a stadium and a cut that would heal by May, and famously saying they didn’t know why Floyd was calling…
    My guy it took Floyd running up on Manny at a basketball game for the fight to finally get done…
    Typing this though and looking at Floyd currently as a promoter it’s embarrassing hat he’s currently doing when you consider the type of fighter he was.

    I think its generally considered that Floyd "could" at one time punch with good power but his brittle hands made him put that on the back burner , you had to notice though if fighters tried to rush/strongarm Floyd he would slide n slip but when he couldn't he would give a stiff enough jab & then most, usually (apart from Maidana:)) decided that was a bad idea...
    Floyd should be ashamed to call the Ortiz fight a win...imo...
